JERUSALEM:
Israeli fighter jets, attack helicopters and other warplanes late Monday struck
Syrian military targets in
southern Syria, a day after thwarting an attack in the Golan Heights, the Israeli army said.
"The targets struck include observation posts and intelligence collection systems, anti-aircraft artillery facilities and command and control systems in SAF (Syrian Armed Forces) bases," the army said in statement.
Syrian state media said Syria had activated its air defences against 'hostile targets' near the capital Damascus.
